Red and Green-Opposites Attract.

             Opposites on the colour wheel make each other zing.



    Everyday objects found around our home.




Red apples with green leaves, chartreuse pears and cerise cherries. Scarlet skies  over emerald seas, minty taste with tomato paste, ruby ring by a  jade vase, grass  growing - fire glowing, vermillion loves viridian.
 Green eyes and red lips, rose red in a sage bed, Granny smith meets Rome beauty. Blood drops shed in an olive grove, sea glass  found on a carmine rock.
Red planet  glows with green light, grasshopper  caught by Robin redbreast, redcurrants sour as gooseberries,  cucumber cools a hot  chilli.
 Claret  with a squeeze of lime, pistachio sorbet and raspberry gelato, rouge cheeks - verdigris.
 Green beret and a red badge of courage. It's a red-letter day don't pine away. Greengage plum by a poppy patch, red fox in a verdant field,  bottle green dress with scarlet shoes...
  Please add more !






    Art deco vase and hand painted vintage plate, knife and spoon.

Zucchini, blanched for 1 minute then left to cool, then grated. Added to the centre of a red cabbage  or radicchio leaf, sprinkled with a little olive oil and a squeeze of lemon. Topped with toasted pine nuts and garnished with coriander/cilantro or other fresh herbs. This makes a lovely extra side salad.

from nothing - to something,
from rejected - to accepted.
